Cheyenne's Story:
This 4 year old, spayed, super sweet, friendly girl who could use a bit more activity in her life. Her elderly owner was diagnosed with dementia. We have learned that her world was somewhat small because of that and now she’s seen what life can really be like at her foster home. She loves to play, especially with teenagers. She’s done well with other dogs but no cats. Her ideal home would be with someone active or who has older children that like to play. She recently had a partially torn tendon surgically repaired and so is in rehab, but will be 100% soon.

Sisco
Sisco is now available for adoption. He is healing well from his neuter and ready for his forever home. He is a year old so he has extra Doberman energy. We feel he needs to be in a home with Doberman experience as they can be a handful between the ages of 1-2 years of age. He will need someone who is active. He has also shown a negative association with e-collar training so training would need to be without one, initially at the very least.
Blues are known to have alopecia and suffer from skin issues around 6 years of age (possibly sooner, depends on the dog). another reason we would like him to go to an experienced home. He is good with kids, some dogs, just no cats. Cannot be placed in a home with another male dog.

Bucee—Cache County Animal Control
Meet Bucee, a bright, playful, and lovable pup who’s ready to find his forever home! Bucee came to us as a stray and, sadly, was never claimed. Estimated to be around a year old, he’s still got that fun, youthful energy and is eager to learn and grow with the right family. Bucee is a very smart boy who picks up on new things quickly. He’s extremely treat-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. Though he can be a little stubborn at times, he truly wants to please and is happiest when he knows he’s done something right. One of Bucee’s favorite things in the world? Butt scratches. He’s absolutely obsessed and will happily soak up as much affection as you're willing to give. He’s also working on learning how to play fetch, he’s got the running and chasing part down, but the whole “bring it back” step is still a work in progress. In the meantime, he loves chew toys and tennis balls and can entertain himself for hours. Because Bucee still has plenty of energy to burn, he would thrive with an active family or individual who can keep up with his playful spirit. He’d be a great companion for hikes, jogs, or outdoor adventures. Due to his breed traits and energy level, he’ll do best with someone who understands the importance of ongoing training, mental stimulation, and exercise. If you would like to meet him please fill out an application. We do require that all family dogs and children be present for his meet and greet to ensure the best match.
Female-Weber County Shelter
From her foster: “We have been fostering this beautiful 3 year old Doberman. She is an amazing dog and so smart! High energy and drive. She would be an amazing addition to someone that loves to be active and wants a working companion. Unfortunately we are just not the right fit for her. She does amazing with other dogs, she’s just too high energy for Tim. Is anyone interested? She will be back at Weber county either today or tomorrow. We just want to help find her the forever home she deserves!! She is well trained and is trained with a collar. Please if ANYONE here is interested or would know someone that might be please please reach out!”

How To Adopt
Rescue FAQs
What is the Utah Doberman Rescue?
The UDR, a division of the Salt Lake Doberman Pinscher Club, consists of volunteers who are dedicated to finding quality homes for needy Dobermans. We place an average of 100 dogs each year.
Are There Any Fees To Adopt Through Rescue?
The Doberman Rescue pays for all expenses related to each dog in our care. This includes a veterinary exam, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, micro-chipping, treating for worms, and heartworm testing. It also includes boarding where necessary as well as the upkeep of the dogs in foster situations. Obviously this is very expensive and any help is greatly appreciated. We ask that new owners donate $250 to the Utah Doberman Rescue so that we can partially cover some of these costs.
What area do we serve?
Most of our Dobermans come from the Salt Lake City and Ogden areas, but we accept dogs from much of the intermountain region, including Wyoming, Idaho, and southern Utah.
What is required to adopt?
Prospective owners must fill out an adoption application and agree to abide by the terms of our adoption contract. We are looking for stable, loving, permanent homes with adequately fenced yards for our Dobermans. Dobermans do not have enough coat, nor the disposition, to be kept as an outdoor dog. They must be house dogs and must never, ever be chained as a way of confinement. They love their people and want to be with you constantly.
Will an adult Doberman adjust to an new family?
Dobermans are extremely people oriented. They were bred to be a companion and protector of man. As a rule, they bond very quickly with their new family members because they crave human contact so much. Often dogs from the worst backgrounds, those who have been abused and neglected, are the most loving. They truly appreciate the attention and security given to them and with time and proper care and respect become completely devoted to their new owners.
How can I help?
Volunteers are needed to work with the shelters, especially in areas at a distance from the Salt Lake Area, to exercise the dogs who are being boarded, and to help with fund-raising. Good foster homes are always needed. If you can't volunteer, donations are gratefully accepted. You can use the link provided below.
